Item 5. Other Events
On July 17, 1997, the Partnership entered into a contract to sell the land,
related improvements and personal property of the retail center known as
Venetian Square Shopping Center ("Venetian") located in Stockton, California. An
affiliate of the purchaser is currently employed by the Partnership as the
property manager of Venetian. Other than this business relationship, the
purchaser is not affiliated in any way with the Partnership, the Managing
General Partner or its affiliates. The prospective purchaser's due diligence
period expired on October 7, 1997. The sale of Venetian is now primarily
contingent upon the majority vote of the Partnership's limited partners to
approve the sale as provided in the Partnership agreement. Closing is subject to
customary conditions. If the prospective purchaser does not close for reasons
other than the fault of the Partnership, the Partnership will be entitled to
keep an aggregate of $60,000 of earnest money.
Contingent upon the closing of the proposed sale and majority vote of the
Partnership's limited partners to approve, the General Partner will proceed to
dissolve and liquidate the Partnership in accordance with the Partnership
agreement.

to Buyer a preliminary title report for the Property, together with legible
copies of all recorded exceptions to title referred to in such report
(collectively, the "Title Report"), contemplating the issuance of a CLTA
standard coverage owner's policy of title insurance in accordance with Section
7.1.2 below. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.2.1 above with
respect to Buyer's review of the Appraisal and Environmental Report, Buyer shall
have until the expiration of the Financing Contingency Deadline to review the
condition of title to the Real Property as shown on the Title Report and to
notify Seller and Title Company of its disapproval of any matter reflected in
the Title Report. In the event that prior to the expiration of the Financing
Contingency Deadline Buyer objects in writing to any matter involving title to
the Real Property, including, without limitation, any exception to title
disclosed on the Title Report (a "Title Defect"), Seller shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to attempt to cure such Title Defect not later than
thirty (30) days prior to the Closing; provided, that Seller shall be obligated
to eliminate all liens evidencing monetary encumbrances (other than liens for
non-delinquent general real property taxes, assessments and improvement district
bonds). Such cure may be effected by deletion of the Title Defect from the Title
Policy, by appropriate endorsements insuring over such Title Defect, or by such
8
<PAGE>
other cure as may be reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. Seller shall notify Buyer
and Title Company in writing not later than five (5) business days following the
expiration of the Financing Contingency Deadline of Seller's election to attempt
to cure such Title Defect. In the event that (a) Seller elects not to cure the
Title Defect as provided herein, or (b) Seller fails or is unable to cure such
Title Defect within the time period specified herein, and cure of such Title
Defect is not waived by Buyer, then this Agreement shall terminate in accordance
with the provisions of Section 6.4 below. Buyer's failure to notify Seller of
Buyer's objection to any Title Defect shall constitute approval of the Title
Report in accordance with the foregoing. If Buyer does not terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4, then the exceptions to title disclosed in the
Title Report, as amended by any endorsements or revisions to the Title Report
requested and obtained by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Financing
Contingency Deadline, shall constitute the "Permitted Exceptions" hereunder.
6.3 Contingencies
6.3.1 Financing Contingency. Buyer shall have until 5:00
p.m., M.S.T., on August 15, 1997 (the "Financing Contingency Deadline") to
secure one or more loan commitments from third party lenders and/or
participating investors or lenders (collectively, the "Loan Commitments")
pursuant to which such lenders or investors commit to provide, by way of
mortgage loans or investment capital, on terms and conditions acceptable to
Buyer. Buyer agrees to use its best efforts and to act in good faith and with
due diligence to obtain the Loan Commitments prior to the expiration of the
Financing Contingency Deadline.
6.3.2 Lease Contingency. Seller shall have until the
expiration of the Financing Contingency Deadline to finalize and enter into a
lease agreement (the "Clearance Center Lease") with Step Ahead Investments,
Inc., a California corporation doing business as "$.98 Clearance Centers," on
terms reasonable acceptable to Seller and consistent in all material respects
with the business terms and conditions set forth in that certain draft of the
Clearance Center Lease previously delivered to Buyer. In the event that Seller
fails or is unable to finalize and enter into the Clearance Center Lease prior
to the expiration of the Financing Contingency Deadline, Buyer, upon written
notice to Seller and Escrow Holder delivered no later than five (5) business
days following the Financing Contingency Deadline, may terminate this Agreement,
in which event (i) Buyer shall return all of Seller's Deliveries, including any
copies or written summaries thereof to Seller and shall deliver to Seller copies
of any other reports, summaries or analyses of the Property generated by or on
behalf of Buyer in connection with its investigation of the Property, (ii)
Seller shall pay any escrow termination fees charged by Escrow Holder, (iii) the
Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, (iv) Escrow Holder shall return all other
items in Escrow to the party who delivered the same, and (v) both parties shall
be relieved from any further liability hereunder. If Buyer does not terminate
this Agreement as described in the preceding sentence, then this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
6.4 Termination. If, (i) on or before the expiration of the
Financing Contingency Deadline, Buyer gives Seller and Escrow Holder written
notice setting forth Buyer's dissatisfaction with the contents of the Seller's
Deliveries for any reason whatsoever, or (ii) on or before the expiration of the
Financing Contingency Deadline, Buyer gives Seller and Escrow Holder written
notice of Buyer's failure to obtain the Loan Commitments, then (a) this
Agreement shall terminate, (b) Buyer shall return all of Seller's Deliveries,
including any copies or written summaries thereof to Seller and shall deliver to
Seller copies of any other reports, summaries or analyses of the Property
generated by
9
<PAGE>
or on behalf of Buyer in connection with its investigation of the Property, (c)
Buyer shall pay any escrow termination fees charged by Escrow Holder, (d) the
Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, (e) Escrow Holder shall return all other
items in Escrow to the party who delivered the same, and (f) both parties shall
be relieved from any further liability hereunder. If Buyer does not terminate
this Agreement as described in the preceding sentence, then this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
6.5 "As Is" Purchase
6.5.1 Opportunity to Inspect. Buyer acknowledges and agrees,
for Buyer and Buyer's successors and assigns, that (i) Buyer has been given a

including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater or land,
or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use,
treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as

ARTICLE 7 - THE CLOSING
-----------------------
7.1 Date and Manner of Closing. If this Agreement has not then been
terminated in accordance with Section 6.4, the close of Escrow (the "Closing")
shall take place at the offices of Escrow Holder on the fifteenth (15th) day
after the date on which Seller notifies Buyer that Seller has obtained all
necessary consents from its Limited Partners as contemplated by Section 3.3.4
above, or, by mutual agreement of the parties, on an earlier date. The date of
Closing hereunder is referred to herein as the "Closing Date." Escrow Holder
shall close the Escrow by (i) filing for record the Deed and such other
documents as may be necessary to procure the Title Policy (described below) and
(ii) delivering funds and documents as set forth in Article 9, WHEN AND ONLY
WHEN each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
7.1.1 Funds and Documents. All funds and instruments required
to be delivered to Escrow Holder pursuant to Articles 4 and 5 have been so
delivered to Escrow Holder.
7.1.2 Title Insurance. Title Company is prepared to issue a
CLTA Standard Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, with liability in the amount of
the Purchase Price, insuring that fee title to the Real Property vests in Buyer,
subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. The title insurance policy to be
issued to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.1.2 is hereinafter referred to as the
"Title Policy".
7.2 Delay in Closing; Authority to Close. If Escrow Holder cannot
close the Escrow on or before the scheduled Closing date, it will, nevertheless,
close the same when all conditions have been satisfied or waived,
notwithstanding that one or more of such conditions has not been timely
performed, unless after said date and prior to Closing, Escrow Holder receives a
written notice to terminate the Escrow and this Agreement from a party who, at
the time such notice is delivered, is not in default hereunder. Neither (i) the
exercise of such right to terminate, (ii) delay in the exercise of such right,
nor (iii) the return of monies and documents, shall affect the right of the
party giving such notice of termination to pursue legal or equitable remedies as
provided in this Agreement for the other party's breach of this Agreement. Nor
shall (i) the giving of such notice, (ii) the failure to object to termination
of the escrow or (iii) the return of monies and documents affect the right of
the other party to pursue other legal or equitable remedies as provided in this
Agreement for the breach of the party who gives such notice.
7.3 Termination of Agreement; Liability of Escrow Holder. Escrow
Holder shall have no liability or responsibility for determining whether or not
a party giving a notice of termination is or is not in default hereunder.
Within two business days after receipt of such notice from one party, Escrow
Holder shall deliver a copy of such notice to the other party. Unless written
objection to the termination of the Escrow is received by Escrow Holder within
ten (10) days after Escrow Holder so delivers such notice to the other party,
(i) Escrow Holder shall forthwith terminate the Escrow and return all funds,
documents and other items held by it to the party depositing same, except that
Escrow Holder may retain such documents and other items usually retained by
escrow holders in accordance with standard escrow termination procedures and
practices, and (ii) each party shall forthwith pay to Escrow Holder one-half of
Escrow Holder's reasonable escrow termination charges. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this subparagraph, Escrow Holder may deduct from any
cash or other funds held by it, a sum sufficient to pay its escrow termination
charges in full. If written objection to the termination of the Escrow is
delivered to Escrow Holder within such ten (10) day period, Escrow
12
<PAGE>
Holder is authorized to hold all funds, documents and other items delivered to
it in connection with the Escrow and may, in Escrow Holder's sole discretion,
take no further action until otherwise directed, either by the parties' mutual
written instructions or final order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The
provisions of this Section 7.3 shall not apply to a termination of the Escrow by
Buyer pursuant to Section 6.2.2., in which event Buyer shall be solely
responsible for payment of all termination fees.
ARTICLE 8 - PRORATIONS, FEES AND COSTS
--------------------------------------
8.1 Prorations. Escrow Holder will prorate and adjust between the
parties, in Cash at the Closing, the following (all prorations are to be made on
the basis of a 365-day year, unless otherwise specifically instructed in
writing):
8.1.1 Property Taxes. All real property and personal property
taxes and assessments (except special assessments) which are customarily paid in
arrears shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall be solely
responsible for payment of any special assessments payable in installments due
on or after the Closing Date. Seller shall pay all such taxes attributable to
any period prior to the Closing. If the applicable tax rate and assessments for
the Property have not been established for the year in which Closing occurs, the
proration of real estate and/or personal property taxes, as the case may be,
shall be based upon the most recent assessed valuations and mill levy available,
which proration shall be deemed a final settlement between the parties,
provided, that in the event of any refund or reduction in property taxes
assessed against the Property for (i) any tax year prior to the year of Closing,
or (ii) the year of Closing, resulting from an appeal of the amount of such
taxes, the amount of any such refund or reduction attributable to tax years
prior to the year of Closing shall be paid to Seller, and any such refund or
reduction in taxes attributable to the year of Closing shall be prorated as of
the Closing Date at such time as the judgment on appeal shall become final. If
either such real estate or such personal property taxes are payable directly to
the taxing authority by any tenant under and pursuant to the terms of any Lease,
then the foregoing provisions shall be inapplicable with respect thereto and
there shall be no proration of such taxes between Seller and Buyer. All taxes
imposed because of a change of use of the Property after Closing shall be paid
by the Buyer.
8.1.2 Income. All income from the Leases or from any other
portion of the Property (such as, e.g., parking rents, if any) shall be prorated
as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall receive all income accruing on the Closing
and thereafter. Seller shall receive all income accruing prior to the Closing.
8.1.3 Deposits; Tenant Concessions. Seller shall retain all
non-refundable deposits paid by tenants under the Leases. Buyer shall be
entitled to a credit at Closing for the amount of (i) any security or other
deposits paid by tenants under the Leases, (ii) any prepaid rentals, (iii)
cleaning fees and other deposits, and (iv) any rent abatement or "free rent"
under any of the Leases attributable to periods from and after the Closing Date.
8.1.4 Reimbursable Expenses. For each of the tenants under
the Leases, there shall be calculated the difference, if any, between (i) the
rental payments made by such tenant to Seller through the Closing Date for such
tenant's prorata share of Reimbursable Expenses for the year of Closing; and
(ii) such tenant's prorata share, pursuant to the terms of its Lease, of the
actual Reimbursable Expense incurred by Seller for the year of Closing through
the Closing Date. In
13
<PAGE>
calculating such amounts, any rental payments for Reimbursable Expenses that are
credited to Buyer at Closing shall be subtracted from rental payments for
Reimbursable Expenses deemed received by Seller and all prorations charged to
Seller for expenses that constitute Reimbursable Expenses shall be deemed
amounts incurred by Seller through the Closing Date. The amounts of such
differences (whether positive or negative) for each of the tenants under the
Leases shall then be added together and, if Seller has received more rental for
Reimbursable Expenses for the year of Closing through the Closing Date than the
actual amount of Reimbursable Expenses incurred by Seller during such period for
which Seller is entitled to reimbursement under the Leases, then Seller shall
credit the amount of such excess to Buyer at Closing. Such adjustment between
Seller and Buyer for Reimbursable Expenses shall be deemed a final settlement.
Buyer shall be solely responsible for any adjustments that are required to be
made with the tenants under the Leases after the end of the year of Closing for
any differences between the rental payments made by such tenants for
Reimbursable Expenses for the year of Closing and the actual total Reimbursable
Expenses for such year. Such obligation of Buyer shall survive Closing.
8.1.5 Leasing Commissions and Monetary Concessions. Seller
shall pay and perform all leasing commissions and other monetary concessions,
including improvement allowances and tenant improvement work relating to the
Clearance Center Lease, up to a maximum of $200,000.00 (collectively, "Tenant
Concessions").
8.1.6 Other Expenses of Property. In general, all expenses
relating to the operation of the Property accruing prior to the Closing shall be
paid by Seller and all such expenses accruing on or after Closing shall be paid
by Buyer. Seller shall be entitled to a credit at Closing for the amount of any
deposits Seller has made with any of the utilities services or companies
servicing the Property. Buyer shall arrange with all utilities services and
companies servicing the Property to have new accounts started in the name of
Buyer or Buyer's designee beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.
8.1.7 Miscellaneous. All of the prorations respecting the
Property, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be made in accordance with
the custom of San Joaquin County, California.
8.2 Date of Proration. The prorations and adjustments provided for
in this Article 8 shall be made so that the Buyer shall receive the income and
be charged with the expense of the operation of the Property for the Closing
Date, provided that the Purchase Price (subject to the adjustments and
prorations provided for herein) is delivered to Seller in sufficient time on the
Closing Date so that such proceeds may be invested and Seller shall receive
interest on such investment for the Closing Date. If the proceeds of the
Purchase Price are not so delivered to the Seller on the Closing Date, the
prorations and adjustments to be made under this Article 8 shall not be changed,
but Escrow Holder shall not effect the Closing until Buyer has paid to Seller
interest on the amounts due to Seller at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per
annum, calculated on a 365-day year, to compensate Seller for the loss of
interest for such date.
8.3 Buyer's Closing Costs. Buyer will pay (i) one-half of Escrow
Holder's escrow fee, (ii) the cost of the Title Policy and any endorsements to
the Title Policy requested by Buyer, (iii) usual buyer's document-drafting
charges, and (iv) Buyer's attorneys' fees.
14

8.4 Seller's Closing Costs. Seller will pay (i) any excise,
transfer, sales or use taxes assessed in connection with recording the Deed,
(ii) one-half of Escrow Holder's escrow fee, (iii) usual seller's document-
drafting and recording charges, including recordation of the Deed, and (iv)
Seller's attorneys' fees.

-----------------------------------------------
9.1 Form of Disbursements. All disbursements by Escrow Holder shall
be made by wire transfer to the account of Seller in accordance with the wiring
instructions attached as Exhibit M hereto.
9.2 Liens and Encumbrances. At the time of Closing, Escrow Holder
shall pay, from funds to which Seller shall be entitled, to the obligees
thereof, any lien, deed of trust, mortgage or other encumbrance then affecting
the Property.
9.3 Recorded Documents. Escrow Holder will cause the County
Recorder of San Joaquin County, California, to mail the Deed (and each other
document which is herein expressed to be, or by general usage is, recorded)
after recordation, to the grantee, beneficiary or person (i) acquiring rights
under said document or (ii) for whose benefit said document was acquired.
9.4 Nonrecorded Documents. Escrow Holder will, at the Closing,
deliver by United States mail (or will hold for personal pickup, if requested),
at least one duplicate original of each nonrecorded document received hereunder
by Escrow Holder to Buyer and Seller.
9.5 Cash Disbursements. Escrow Holder will, at the Closing, arrange
for wire transfer, (i) to Seller, or order, the Purchase Price, plus any
prorations or other credits to which Seller will be entitled and less any
appropriate prorations or other charges and (ii) to Buyer, or order, any excess
funds theretofore delivered to Escrow Holder by Buyer.
9.6 Copies of Documents. Escrow Holder will, as soon as possible
after Closing, deliver to Buyer and to Seller a copy of the Deed (conformed to
show recording data) and each document recorded or delivered to or through
Escrow herein.
ARTICLE 10 - RETURN OF DOCUMENTS AND FUNDS UPON TERMINATION
-----------------------------------------------------------
10.1 Return of Seller's Documents. In the event the Escrow is
terminated for any reason (other than the default of Seller), Buyer shall,
within fifteen (15) calendar days following such termination, deliver to Seller
all documents and materials, if any, relating to the Property previously
delivered to Buyer by Seller. Escrow Holder shall deliver all documents and
materials deposited by Seller and then in Escrow Holder's possession to Seller.
10.2 Return of Buyer's Documents. In the event Escrow is terminated
for any reason (other than the default of Buyer), Escrow Holder shall, within

funds and documents, if any, deposited by Buyer and then in Escrow Holder's
possession to Buyer.
15
<PAGE>
10.3 No Effect on Rights of Parties. The return of documents and
monies as set forth above shall not affect the right of either party to seek
such legal or equitable remedies as such party may be entitled by the terms of
this Agreement.
10.4 Payment of Termination Fee. Escrow Holder may condition its
deliveries hereinabove provided upon payment by the party requesting delivery of
a termination fee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, any termination fee shall be paid (or reimbursed) by the defaulting
party, or paid equally if neither party is then in default, provided, however,
that upon a termination by Buyer in accordance with Section 6.4, any termination
fee shall be paid by Buyer.
ARTICLE 11 - DEFAULT

Lease without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subsequent to the expiration of the Financing
Contingency Deadline, Seller shall not enter into, amend, alter, terminate or
modify any Leases without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent may be
granted or withheld in Buyer's sole discretion. If Seller desires to enter into

transaction requires the consent of Buyer thereto as provided in this Section
14.1 Seller shall deliver written notice to Buyer requesting Buyer's approval
thereof and providing therewith the most current draft of the proposed new Lease
or amendment or termination agreement. Seller also agrees to provide any other
information concerning any new Lease and proposed tenant which Buyer reasonably
requests. Buyer shall respond to Seller's request for approval of the subject
Lease transaction within two (2) business days after the delivery of Seller's
notice. Unless Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller disapproving the
proposed Lease transaction within such two (2) day period, Buyer shall be deemed
to have approved such Lease transaction for all purposes of this Agreement and
Seller may proceed to consummate such Lease transaction in the form most
recently approved (or deemed approved) by Buyer.
14.2 Contracts. Perform in a timely manner all of Seller's
obligations under the Contract, consistent with Seller's ordinary business
practices in effect as of the date hereof. Subsequent to the expiration of the
Financing Contingency Deadline, Seller shall not enter into any new Contracts

19
<PAGE>
notice (and to deliver to Buyer copies of any such new Contracts) without
Buyer's prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in
Buyer's sole discretion. In addition, Seller shall not modify or terminate any
of the Contracts or otherwise consented to in writing by Buyer, which consent
may be granted or withheld in Buyer's sole discretion. Buyer's consent shall be
deemed to have been given by Buyer if Buyer does not notify Seller to the
contrary within two (2) business days after receipt of Seller's request for such
consent. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any such agreements entered into
by Seller prior to the expiration of the Financing Contingency Deadline.
14.3 Personal. Except in the ordinary course of Seller's business,
not remove any Personal Property except to make repairs and replacements.
14.4 Maintenance and Operation of Property. Maintain the Property
in its present condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and operate the
Property in substantially the same manner as the Property has previously been
operated by Seller.

customary business practices.

more than one month in advance or apply any security deposit to rent or any
other sum due from, or on account of any default by, any Tenant; and
14.13 Conditions. Promptly notify Buyer of any change in any
condition with respect to the Property or of any event or circumstance which
makes any representation or warranty of Seller under this Agreement untrue or
misleading in any material respect, or any covenant of Buyer
20
<PAGE>
under this Agreement incapable or less likely of being performed, it being
understood that the Seller's obligation to provide notice to Buyer shall in no
way relieve Seller of any liability for a breach by Seller of any of its
representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 15 - CASUALTY
---------------------
In the event that the Property should be damaged by any casualty prior to
Closing, Seller shall promptly give Buyer written notice of such occurrence, and
as soon thereafter as practicable, shall provide Buyer with an estimate (the
"Estimate") made by an architect, engineer or contractor selected by Seller and
approved by Buyer (which approval shall not be unreasonably withhold or delayed)
of the cost required to repair such damage. If it is so estimated that the cost
to make any such repairs shown on the Estimate would exceed an amount equal to
ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price, then either party, at its option, may
terminate the Agreement upon written notice to the other given within ten (10)
days after both parties' receipt of the Estimate, in which event Escrow Holder
shall return the Deposit to Buyer and both parties shall be relieved of any
further obligations hereunder. If neither party elects to so terminate this
Agreement, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Seller
shall assign all insurance proceeds payable as a result of such casualty to
Buyer at the Closing, up to the estimated cost of repairs shown on the Estimate.
ARTICLE 16 - CONDEMNATION
-------------------------
16.1 Notice. If, prior to Closing, Seller learns of any actual or
threatened taking in condemnation or by eminent domain (or a sale in lieu
thereof) of all of any portion of the Property, Seller will notify Buyer
promptly thereof.
16.2 Termination. Other than with respect to an "Immaterial Taking" (as
defined below), any actual or threatened taking or condemnation for any public
or quasi-public purpose or use by any competent authority in appropriate
proceedings or by any right of eminent domain of all or any part of the Property
between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date shall, at the option of
Buyer, cause a termination of this Agreement. The election to terminate
provided hereby must be exercised (or will be deemed to have been waived) by
notice to Seller and Title Company to that effect given within fifteen (15) days
following delivery of Seller's notice pursuant to Section 16.1 above. Upon
delivery of such termination notice, Escrow Holder shall return the Deposit to
Buyer and both parties shall be relieved of any future obligations hereunder.
If Buyer shall not elect to so terminate this Agreement, or in the event of an
Immaterial Taking, Seller shall be relieved of all obligations under this
Agreement with respect to the portion of the Property so taken or condemned, but
Buyer will be entitled to receive all proceeds of any such taking or
condemnation, and Seller agrees that it will not make any adjustment or
settlement of any such taking or condemnation proceeding without Buyer's consent
and will take at Closing all action necessary to assign its entire interest in
such award to Buyer or its designee. Any taking or condemnation for any public
or quasi-public purpose or use which does not (i) affect access, (ii) reduce
parking, (iii) materially affect compliance with zoning requirements, (iv)
permit any Major Tenant to terminate its Lease, or (v) take any part of the
Improvements shall be deemed an "Immaterial Taking."

EXHIBIT 10.20
FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Amendment") is made
and entered into as of the 7th day of October, 1997, by and between BOETTCHER
WESTERN PROPERTIES III LTD., a Colorado limited partnership ("Seller"), and M.
PHILLIP CARDOZA ("Buyer").
Recitals
This Amendment is made with reference to the following facts:
A. Pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Joint Escrow
Instructions dated as of July 17, 1997 (the "Purchase Agreement"), Seller agreed
to sell, and Buyer agreed to purchase, the retail center owned by Seller and
commonly known as "Venetian Square Shopping Center" located in Stockton,
California (the "Center").
B. As contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Buyer had until August
15, 1997 (the "Financing Contingency Deadline"), to either satisfy certain
financing contingencies enabling Buyer to proceed with the purchase of the
Center, or terminate the Purchase Agreement. Buyer was unable to satisfy such
financing contingencies prior to the expiration of the Financing Contingency
Deadline, and consequently terminated the Purchase Agreement in accordance with
the terms and conditions thereof.
C. Seller and Buyer now desire to revive and reinstate the Purchase
Agreement, to amend and modify the Purchase Agreement in certain respects, and
to proceed with the purchase and sale of the Center contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Amendment.
Amendment
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and
undertakings set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to
be legally bound hereby, Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals; Definitions. Each of the foregoing
recitals is hereby incorporated in full herein and made a part of this
Amendment. Any initially capitalized term not otherwise defined in this
Amendment has the same meaning herein as ascribed to such term in the Purchase
Agreement.
2. Reinstatement of Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement, as
amended and modified by this Amendment, is hereby revived and reinstated and
shall continue in full force and effect as if Buyer had never exercised its
right to terminate the Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms and
conditions thereof.
3. Waiver of Contingencies. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees
that all of the conditions to Buyer's obligation to purchase the Property
contained in Article 6 of the Purchase
<PAGE>
Agreement, including, without limitation, Buyer's review of the documents
described in Section 6.2 of the Purchase Agreement and the financing and leasing
contingencies described in Section 6.3 of the Purchase Agreement, have been duly
satisfied or waived by Buyer, and Buyer's right to terminate the Purchase
Agreement pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Purchase Agreement is no longer of any
force or effect whatsoever.
4. Delivery of Additional Deposit. Not later than one business day
following the mutual execution and delivery of this Amendment, Buyer shall
deliver to Escrow Holder the Additional Deposit required pursuant to Section 4.2
of the Purchase Agreement. The Additional Deposit, together with the Initial
Deposit currently held by Escrow Holder and all interest accrued thereon, shall
be applied against the Purchase Price payable by Buyer for the Property at
Closing, but shall be non-refundable to Buyer under all circumstances other than
(i) a breach by Seller of its obligation to sell the Property to Buyer in
accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, as
amended and modified by this Amendment, (ii) Seller's failure to obtain the
consent of the Limited Partners to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3.4 thereof, or (iii)
Seller's failure to contribute its share of the premium for the "Environmental
Liability Policy" (as defined in Paragraph 7 below).
5. Transfer Liability Policy. The following is hereby added as new
Section 3.2.5 of the Purchase Agreement:
"3.2.5 Property Transfer Liability Policy. A Property Transfer
Liability Policy of insurance issued by Steadfast Insurance Company
('Steadfast') or another insurance carrier selected by Seller at
Seller's expense on a 'claims-made' basis (the 'Transfer Liability
Policy') consistent in all material respects with Steadfast's Form No.
STF-PTL-123-A CW (5/95) with coverage in the amount of $2,000,000 per
occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, a term of ten years, and a
deductible not to exceed $100,000. The Transfer Liability Policy
shall name Buyer as primary insured, and shall name Seller as an
additional insured."
6. Target Approval Date. The Target Approval Date contemplated by
Section 3.3.4 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby extended until the date 90
days following the date on which Buyer delivers the Additional Deposit to Escrow
Holder. Seller agrees to promptly initiate the approval process and to
diligently pursue obtaining such approval in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.3.4 of the Purchase Agreement.
7. Resolution of Pending Environmental Investigation. The following
is hereby added as new Section 3.4 of the Purchase Agreement:
"3.4 Resolution of Pending Environmental Investigation. Without
limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 3.3 above,
Seller's obligation to sell the Property to Buyer is further
conditioned upon Seller's having received written notice (the 'Closure
Letter') from San Joaquin County, California (the 'County'),
confirming that the County has recommended that all pending
investigations of the environmental
2
<PAGE>
condition of the Property be terminated, closed and discontinued.
Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts and due diligence to obtain
the Closure Letter as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, that
in the event that the Closure Letter has not been received on or
before December 31, 1997 (or by June 30, 1998, in the event that Buyer
and Seller elect to extend the time period for obtaining the Closure
Letter pursuant to clause (ii) below), (i) Buyer and Seller may
mutually agree to waive receipt of the Closure Letter as a condition
to Seller's obligations hereunder, in which event Seller shall be
released from and indemnified and held harmless against any and all
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including
attorneys' fees and court costs, arising from or in any way related to
the environmental condition of the Property currently under
investigation; (ii) Buyer and Seller may mutually agree to continue to
pursue issuance of the Closure Letter by the County for an additional
period of six (6) months expiring on June 30, 1998, at which time, if
the Closure Letter has not been received, the parties may exercise
either of the options described in clauses (i), (iii) or (iv) hereof;
(iii) either party may elect to purchase an environmental liability
policy of insurance with coverage in such amounts as may be reasonably
acceptable to Seller (the 'Environmental Liability Policy') insuring
Seller against liability for any environmental conditions existing at
the Property under investigation by the County or other governmental
agencies as of the date of Closing, or (iv) Buyer may elect to
terminate this Agreement. In the event that either party elects to
purchase the Environmental Liability Policy, which policy shall name
both Seller and Buyer as insureds, Seller and Buyer shall each pay
one-half of the cost of obtaining the Environmental Liability Policy,
up to a maximum of $50,000 each; provided, that in the event that the
Environmental Liability Policy is not commercially available for a
premium of not more than $100,000, Buyer may elect to pay the full
amount of the premium in excess of $50,000 in order to obtain the
Environmental Liability Policy, such that Seller's contribution
towards the cost of obtaining the Environmental Liability Policy shall
in no event exceed the lesser of (a) one-half of the premium payable
for such policy, or (b) $50,000. In the event of any termination of
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Deposit shall be
immediately released to Seller and thereafter, the parties shall be
relieved from any further obligation or liability to the other
pursuant to this Agreement except for those obligations which
expressly survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement
pursuant to the provisions of Article 9 below; provided, that Buyer
shall return all of Seller's Deliveries to Seller and shall provide
Seller with copies of all reports, surveys, assessments, analyses or
summaries thereof prepared by or on behalf of Buyer in connection with
its investigations of the Property pursuant to Article 6 below."
3
<PAGE>
The following is hereby added as new clause (iv) of Section 8.3 of the
Purchase Agreement, and existing clause (iv) is hereby renumbered as clause (v):
"(iv) the amount of Buyer's contribution against the premium payable
for the Environmental Liability Policy (if applicable) in accordance
with Section 3.4 above,..."
The following is hereby added as new clause (iv) of Section 8.4 of the
Purchase Agreement, and existing clause (iv) is hereby renumbered as clause (v):
"(iv) one-half of the premium payable for the Environmental Liability
Policy (if applicable), not to exceed $50,000..."
8. Amendment of Closing Date. The first sentence of Section 7.1 of
the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"The close of Escrow (the 'Closing') shall take place at the offices
of Escrow Holder on the fifteenth (15th) day after the later to occur
of (i) the date on which Seller notifies Buyer that Seller has
obtained all necessary consents from its Limited Partners as
contemplated by Section 3.3.4 above, (ii) the date on which Seller
notifies Buyer that Seller has received the Closure Letter from the
County, (ii) the date on which the parties agree in writing to waive
waived receipt of such Closure Letter as a condition to Seller's
obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4
above, or (iii) the date on which the Environmental Liability Policy
or a commitment to issue such policy has been received by
Seller;provided, that the date of Closing may, by mutual agreement of
the parties, be held on an earlier date."
9. No Further Amendment. Except as expressly amended and modified
by this Amendment, the Purchase Agreement, as revived and reinstated by this
Amendment, remains unmodified, is hereby ratified, confirmed and incorporated in
full herein, and shall be deemed in full force and effect as of the date hereof.
10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more
identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of
which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
